Description Ortwin Glueck 2011-07-07 13:49:37 UTC 
Assume you abort revdep-rebuild with Ctrl-C, change something and want to start over. Now the cache may be out of date. Instead of manually going to /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/ and removing the files, there should be an option that just does that before revdep-rebuild runs.

Does the '-i' option not do what you want?
Comment 2 Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-07-07 14:12:03 UTC 
There already is:

       -i | --ignore
              Delete temporary files from previous runs.

Ah!
